And we’re back live from the beautiful mayakoba Resort just south of Cancun and what a day round two has come to an absolute end Neiman keep his lead and John ROM continuing with his debut with Legion 13 we’re here to talk about that and more right here on Club 54 post show

Let’s do It welcome to Club 54 post show I’m your host Christian Crosby and I couldn’t be more proud to be a new member of the live golf family but I’m actually more excited to introduce my special guest to start this show you know him as CEO and commissioner Greg Norman but today

You’re serving as former number one in the world and analyst by my side what did I do to get this honor Greg what is going on here well I tell you what Christian it’s an honor to have you I know it’s uh it’s just an incredible

Start to our season this year there’s a lot to talk about obviously so uh let’s have at it I mean everyone is excited about John ROM I mean it’s so cool he’s got this new sheriff in town energy um I want you to talk about what you’ve taken away from the first two

Days well take John out of it I talk about all 54 play right I mean I think John obviously was a catalyst to see the stimulant that he created for the guys in the off season when he knew he when they knew he was coming on board

Actually elevated the the the stature of making these guys perform a little bit better be focused you know you’re coming out here now you’re getting one of the top two players in the world coming on joining um but when I see John and the way he is going about things today he

Continuing on like John Ron right he’s not he not doesn’t matter where these guys playing the World Christian they’re the best players in the world um and the other 53 players are out there just to see the performance of what they’re doing out there on on today especially

Around this golf course and see the numbers they’re putting out there is I’m proud of them because I’m proud of the boys I I I that’s a great answer Greg I do want to bring up John ROM a little bit more people say’s the best in the

World you spent 331 days as the number one golfer in the world so my question to you is you know how important it is to have the best of the best in the league I want you to talk about his influence just joining this league well

A huge influence right it it’s you know you’re pushing each other he’s pushing other guys to be better now right he’s pushing them to go out there and practice harder perform better focus in their offseason like I was mentioning about but he’s equally realizing now for all the viewers out there are

Understanding this when you look at the depth of our field we have 15 to 20 guys that are always the highest performing guys in the game of golf not no slide on the other 30 OD guys but when you’re getting that quality of 20 deep every

Week you know you’ve got to beat 19 a minimum of 19 to get to that level so adding John to it adds that additional flavor to it as that different additional uh strength and character and Charisma that draws and um and look we’ve got we’re covered up with some

Wonderful wonderful guys right but he just b a different level of enthusiasm and excitement to our league couldn’t agree more Greg let’s take a look at the screen here of some reactions to John Ram take a look all right so Ram reactions on social I know how are you

On social Greg do you do you ever respond back to uh the the fan every now and again when they reach out or what I do actually I haven’t done it lately but I normally do I like to engage with him as much as I can but I don’t do it as

Much as I should do Christian that’s that’s okay you’re busy doing many other things absolutely take a look here at some of the social responses as as you can see everyone is extremely excited uh but we actually have a special guest joining us Greg someone who had an incredible day hi Greg how’s

De B thank you so much for joining us how’s it going thank you and welcome to the family first of all I haven’t formally done that so thank you I appreciate that the family man congrats on the day uh why why don’t we start by you uh taking us through your round

Today yeah sure today was um today was a special day I mean it’s just one of those days you wake up body feels good and um you know not quite from hole one but from hole two I just thought the flush it and made a few putts and when

It’s windy like this you know your ball striking is got to be topnotch yeah and I think from a players’s perspective the what people don’t realize out there on televisions the strength of this wind coming off the Caribbean Sea right it’s a very heavy wind right so the spin and

The the flight trajectory and these guys flight the ball I mean they play a lot of wind in South Africa they play a lot of wind all over the world so when he got out of bed this morning knowing what he’s did and needed to flight that ball

Down I watched you play today it was really impressive thank you so much GRE yeah I hit I hit some quality golf shots when I needed to and um you know I played the tough holes well and that’s what you need to do in in windy in tough

Conditions you know and being paired with you know DJ and and Sebastian was was great they’re both great guys and they’re both quick players too so it was nice and easy and free flowing for us and you know they went too many mishaps I think they both played pretty well and

Just got a little unlucky but luck was on my side today so I’ll take it congrats uh we actually have some highlights from today for you Dean if you don’t mind though take us take us through that sure check it out all right here we go Dean uh yeah obviously just pulled that

One straight in uh what was that on I that was five that was on five oh there we go this was a lovely little pitch into the PO five into seven it was actually just a little a little bit of mud on my ball on the left looked like

It was going to go in and you know DJs after me also looked like it was going to this is eight just drew a half decent lie and Pitch it exactly where I wanted to and found the bottom that was kind of the momentum maker for me really um kept

Me kind of going um the other guys were playing great and this probably the best shot I hit all day little low flighted saof six L into the wind and uh yeah released up there to about 6 ft and obviously R it ride and dropped it ride

The middle so yeah that that was hands down probably the best shot I hit all day nice and smooth and yeah on 11 out the rough I mean other as Bermuda it’s just guessing um just trying to pitch it just over that bunker and hopefully it holds the green and yeah luckily mine

Did it landed soft and released up there to you know 2 3 ft and you know like I said sometimes you got to get lucky when you’re missing p with four IRS luckily there’s a lot wedge in yeah this was another I mean pure I just try to keep

My head down and keep my head still in the Wind kind of widen my St so I don’t get blown around too much that was a hell of a shot to get it that close on 16 yeah 16 yeah right behind it I mean

Two an off the te and 99 in from you know that’ll give guys an idea how strong the wind was I mean it was 204 yards to the pin and H 9 so you know I’m playing for 30 yards of win there with a

Nine on so it was blown had a hell of a day Dean let’s let’s talk a little bit about team there’s been a lot of movement in off season but for you guys you stuck together yeah talk about the team report oh wa I mean look the team

Is the team is everything you know I know you know Brandon’s probably not having the best week sha actually is showing signs of some form um Brandon myself and sha spent a lot of time together in the off season and um both guys actually have been playing pretty

Great I mean Brandon shot 10 end around be you know Bears the other day and I think sha shot 58 not too long ago around Turtle Creek so the guys are showing some signs of form and I back my guys you know four scores to count

Marrow I know Lou you know coming off I think you know a few days practice so that’s pretty good for him and he’s three in Nepal but he’s the king of the wind you know you don’t win the open if you can’t play in the wind so you know

I’m look I back us tomorrow I know um we probably a few hour five four or five behind I’m not sure exactly but you know with four scor to count anything can happen and that’s the new exciting format I’m looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow well let’s take a

Look at the screen here we actually have something to show you can you answer this question cuz we got a question for you Dean yeah who is the mass Stinger that’s Lou I mean there’s only one Lou was I mean what as we call now he’s

Changed his name but yeah he made me take that video in the locker room and then our social media team got a hold of that and that’s what came of it I mean I think it’s it’s brilliant so so this wasn’t your idea but you were totally

Down to do it oh yeah totally down to do it I mean I what a man well Chris you got to understand this team here the sting team are really they take the Mickey out of everybody right and that that’s the great thing that people don’t

Realize how great the league is and the family the spirit and uh but these guys here anybody from the southern hemisphere they’re they’re they’re a different crew yeah we um we enjoy ourselves let’s put that way we know we know how to have a good time and we

Certainly know how to give it to each other and U prank each other a lot can you can you explain the secret sauce what do you what is the connector obviously golf but what is it I think sport sport in general from where we come from is just so massive for our

Country South Africa you know you know we now four-time Rugby World Champions no don’t get rubbed that I’m just saying we wear a little a little spring on the back of our caller here and then we had drus dup who’s now the UFC champion the South African kid

From you know just south of Johannesburg so you know Sports in our veins and we support guys you know we’re up 3:00 in the morning no matter where they play and we’re watching and um hopefully we we’re trying to do that for guys back in South Africa in the golfing world love

To see it Dean all right so we have this thing that we do on the show where we have guys basically form check fans swing so not just you Dean Greg obviously we want to hear from you too are you down to do this or what yeah I’m

Down all right here’s the first one and be honest honesty makes this more entertaining so I mean don’t hold back his back swing’s not too bad but I mean he could get on his left side gee I don’t see that going left I’m not going

To lie I he puts more weight on his right side at impact than anybody else I’ve seen yeah I mean it’s he needs to go to the physio all here’s another one all right that’s good that’s pretty good yeah that’s good motion oh I love the

Little twep yeah oh he’s got a little tiger twostep afterwards this boy got game he’s obviously over L he’s got a little swag to him too on plane nice on plane as well all right here’s another bad posture number one two rounded yeah shoulders are too rounded but if we’ll

See oh good Rhythm yeah but yeah stands a little too far away from it and that’s what Greg’s saying shoulders are rounded he’s too far away from it he’s stretching forward all right we got one more all right oh who’s that who’s that oh that I can’t see who that is but

He got it up over the lip that’s all I’m saying I’ve been in there that’s not an easy TOS so wo H it in there today I was with him he hit it in there today and W was in there wo drove it in there and

Came out of it and just obviously had a sandwich out and just made his birdie routine birdie out of the s s yeah I mean that’s a hell of a feature to have isn’t it it’s beautiful well Dean thank you so much for your time and congratulations on a great day today we

Appreciate you hope to see you back yeah hey if I keep playing well hopefully you’ll have me back oh we absolutely will Dean and stick around guys we’re keeping the show going right here on Club 54 post show stick around Mexico I mean like paradise you

Know it doesn’t get better than that to start the season we are just about ready to go man myo is a special place for me it’s where I feel I guess more emotions well the home galleries loved that it’s the perfect scenario you’re going to go play golf to this paradise or when

You’re not playing golf you’re at the beach you know like it just doesn’t get any better you don’t even have to go in but just sitting at the beach and hearing the sound it’s something that makes it so much even nicer I know my family and friends are

Here um obviously playing in front of my people it just feels different and I I love that I love going back because I feel that extra compromise to find a way to perform for for these people starting in Mexico is a it’s a great spot and I’m just pumped to compete man

Mexic I’ve said it once I’ve said it twice I’m going to say it a hundred times if I have to absolutely beautiful Resort here in Maya COA just south of Cancun I I I looking at this shot right here how beautiful this venue is and uh

We’re going to talk to Greg about that a little bit later I know you have a whole lot to do with that stick around we are here on Club 54 post show stay tuned and look at that lovely crowd We are continuing our show here Club 54

Post show and I think I see Rachel down there in that crowd checking in with Rachel Drummond Rachel what’s going on I can hardly hear we’re about to have the chain smokers it’s all kicking off but I am joined by the one and only Ian poter just lovs this phone you’ve just

Been checking out your swing haven’t you I I have been checking out the swing yeah I have anything you’ve seen um I mean look today today was a pretty nice day three on the par but there was a couple of swings I made today which was frustrating been working really hard in

The offseason on a on a couple of different shots um today would have accentuated people’s mistakes right into the wind cross winds in off the left in off the right and you had to kind of shape a couple of shots so um you know a couple of shots that annoyed me

Yesterday was my t-shir on one I leaked it a bit to the right it finished a a foot out of bounds and then today I overcompensated the other way and went went way left so you know I’m always just trying to tweak and make sure Club

Is setting in the right position at the top for me to obviously make a good pass at it on the way down now your typical Co down You’ just mentioned a few technical things will you come here and start trying to feel out the feel you

Want for tomorrow well I I was quite happy with my round so actually I’d gone back in the locker room when I was done for the day until you guys asked me to come back out but anyway and had a SAA it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine um you

Know when you feel good and you’re hitting it good you don’t need to do a lot so you want to lean on the positive side of things but seems as you guys asked me to come out it’s you know it’s it’s nice just to hit a couple come on

Let’s see I mean it’s great right we got the music going in the background chain smokers are coming on I I can hit a couple of shots and get a great feel for tomorrow perfect while you’re hitting yeah I just want to see you strip one first before my next Question yeah that has not moved while you’re hitting I’ve followed you your whole career and the thing that really stands out to me is your mental game you know how have you built up the resilience any advice for people at home that struggle with their mental game when they play

Look any any amateur that plays the game of golf fights with themselves right they have a club in the bag or they got a certain yardage they don’t like or they dwell too much on the Stu stuff really that doesn’t really matter so I’m kind of like the glass is half full

Rather than half empty so I’m always leaning on the good stuff the good shot you’ve just hit don’t worry too much on the bad stuff um don’t worry about the three-footer that your mates just ask you to hold to win the match to obviously earn a earn 10 bucks or 20

Bucks but um you know we all we all experience different kind of nerves at different times and it makes people do funny things um you know I quite enjoy being under a lot of pressure and having to hit a shot that um that you might not like to

Hit because actually it really kind of it focuses you really well into the shot you’re going to play what I don’t like is hitting a shot where he’s laying up on a par five cuz you mind W as you hit a por shot and clarky who’s on the bag

He’s worked for some unbelievable players Adam scar loads of multiple unbelievable players how much does he help you get into the Zone it’s our first week on the bag oh clarky and I are um yeah we’re we’re having um I changed my caddy situation last year to

This year one of the caddies went to caddy for Richard Blan he’s obviously doing really well the other one uh Terry my my long-term Caddy’s cadd and half for Sam so clarky lives 15 10 15 minutes from here in Orlando and we’ve been able to coming into this tournament do some

Great work leading into this week and that’s really the plan for the whole of this year work really hard on course preparation um to be able to come to a tournament and be ready to play gol now Camp Confidential is one of the things that I loved watching this is almost

Like another Camp Confidential I want the info and also little sticks now you’ve got kids are amazing players tell us quickly about little sticks little sticks is our charitable initiative so every single team will have within their teams their own charitable giving so for us with Majestics little

Sticks we built not me but the team have built an amazing curriculum which we’re rolling out now in the UK and in the US in different territories um we’re very proud of our curriculum that that that we have and we’ve got a number of schools that are

Sampling it and test running it as as the second half of last year love it and we’ve had some amazing results as well so this isn’t really to to create and find the next you know Live Superstar this this is giving some certain kids an opportunity that they wouldn’t normally

Have this is taking them away from you know certain distraction or things that they would normally find difficult um and giving them just a different Outlook and you know the amazing skills that we have and that we’ve learned in the game of golf through all the years of playing

The life skills that we that we that we have learned through all the years is amazing you know golf really does give back and this is a a great thing for us to have this you know initiative and hopefully we can roll it out to many more schools in the UK and

Hopefully we can take it around the world um if people can actually see the full curriculum so it’s hard to explain to really get across what we’re doing um from within the school system itself we’re we’re making an impact which is great and in 10 seconds advice to

Parents who’ve got kids that they want to be good at golf what would your advice be let him go and have some fun love it at the end of the day look golf is a great game it’s become more accessible it’s becoming more and more accessible um kids are enjoying this

Great game so let them go and enjoy it and have fun and have fun with the whole family go on show me another shot can you hit a low one for me cuz it’s so windy out here go on how would you hit a low one and execute I’m putting you under pressure Okay so Bull’s gone back in the stance back in the stance love it that is so good if you can’t see the trace pul think of me tomorrow in your heads putting you under pressure hitting the low shot play well tomorrow well done today thank you that was actually absolutely

Phenomenal Rachel Rachel great job out there and as you can see fans are watching and fans are excited I saw a Tweet someone said I don’t care I’m at work and I’m tuning in don’t snitch it was the best tweet I saw all day so as you can see fans are

Excited and uh if you hear a lot of music behind us that’s because there is the chain smokers are performing behind us but those aren’t the superstars I’m talking to right now please welcome absolute Superstar live golf commentator Don D I think this man’s a superstar not

Me but thank you for inviting me on to this set I’m looking forward to it hey thank you so much for joining us now you you had the opportunity to uh join some special guys all day long can you take us through your day today D I did I was

With John Ram uh lri caner and Richard Bland who it was his birthday today 51 years old amazing that he’s still playing the sort of golf he is playing right now Greg by the way pretty good signing with John Ram yeah no we’ve we’ve talked about that really good one

Thing I want to make I’m going to ask you right we’ve you’ve been around a lot of great golfers right the to me the impact the sound of impact off John’s Club take the driver away but the iron is so hits everything so flush all the

Time right it is it’s out of the middle of the club face it’s always on The Sweet Spot I remember what you told me here last year you designed this golf course that in a certain wind there’s no hole that plays into the wind or straight downwind it’s always cross

Winds and you said you have to flight the ball to play this course well and look at our leaderboard Neeman Dean berer and John Ram these guys know how to flight the board so important around here yeah 100% we talked to Dean about that you knew when you came out here one

Of his best shots he hit all day was a 6 ir and he on the 10th hole he flighted it down the penetration you could see the ball flight that’s the art of knowing how to play the game of golf under tough conditions yeah absolutely all right so we’re going to

Take a look at some highlights from R since we’re on the T topic take a look right here he actually started off quite shaky he didn’t really play so well the first few holes but uh and his putting his long putting was off pretty much all day

He was leaving himself a lot of four five Footers but he made them take a look at that I was looking for you Dom In that clip I n see over there where were you I’ve been told to stay out of camera many many times you did a good job all

Right yeah this was his Birdie on 11 yeah I think he’s going to be on the P Green today working on his long putts this evening hit he was very lucky on 13 he hit his t- shot right and it was going to go into the mangrove but it hit a

Spectator and it Ked it out of the playing area he got a free drop off the cart par look at that and of course this is the moment that we all talk about still to this day that we all love I’m going to make a comment um there’s a picture up in the

Clubhouse with John and myself the first PGA Tour event he ever played was right here micar the first live tournament event was right here at Michel bar and I’ve been fortunate with him because I mean I’ve been involved with the players coming on board for for quite a long

Time now but the process I went through with John and Kelly uh to to for him to understand what live was all about because there’s so much white noise out there Christian with everybody Hearing in different locker rooms around the world about the opposite side of Live

And when you sit down with John or I sat down with John with a couple of other my colleagues and we talked him through live and we spoke about the one thing that we talked about as family and you have a partner in life and live because

We create this atmosphere here where you are a partner you’re not a pass through entity and live you you become part of the family we’re going to grow we’re going to support and you know especially when you’re a captain and you have a piece of a team um you’re going to help

That partnership so we have a partner with the league and we have a partnership with John and Legion 13 and it shows Greg it shows now we were talking off camera offline about this beautiful course I talk offline about this also with dom I I would love to

Hear your thoughts about the design of this course and I know Dom also has some questions about it yeah look it’s very unique it’s the only golf course I’ve ever designed I’ve opened 121 Golf Course around the world it’s got three ecosystems as you come in the front gate

You go through the subtropical then you get into the mangr and then you hit the Caribbean Sea you hit the beach and and and and the that that different character and what people don’t realize about 40 or 50 ft above the tree line and all the trees are about the same

Height the heaviness of that wind that’s about 90 ft to 100 ft above there when you your ball hits that Apex so when I was D let’s just take the fourth hole a little par three out there it’s 110 yards plus or minus right I knew because

Of the amount of spin that goes on a golf wall with a pitching wedge or you know whatever it is 50° that Back Spin is going to be hitting the that wind so hard and that to me is one of the hardest shots on this golf course that to get it close

And very very few people get it close on number four it’s a tough green now too yeah it’s I made some changes there we made some subtle changes around here we lengthened 18 we we mov the green on uh eight next to the sonor a little bit

More to bring that into play but you know I was lucky when I designed this golf course we designed it as a a resort um for high class Resort golf right and it just the art of Designing a golf course to is to cater for everybody and

When we first bought a a Tour event here it was just like wow the players loved it they loved the layout of the golf course and don’t hit the nail on the head I walk every virgin site and I wanted know where the prevailing wind’s

Going to be in the middle of summer in the middle of winter and what how that transitions around and so you want to make sure every player is tested to the to the HT and so by making it simple right it’s um it’s a balance and making

Very difficult that’s easy thing to do um so I love this golf course I I really did enjoy playing it I did enjoy building it the players love playing as well too I’ve always wanted to ask I know course design is one of your passions Greg when you got here was it

Was it all Mangrove it was all this yeah it was nothing but chit trees up here in the subtropical right here and there was nothing but mangroves so how do you as a designer plot a routing okay so the only Road was down here to the South there

Was a dirt road that went from the main road down to the beach so we just walked down that way and then we transitioned where we could we got in a boat and we went through the waterways right and then now we just work off the topography

Topo maps and now now we just map some of the mangr you could not get through right there was snakes in here there were crocodiles in here there was everything in here but when you can work your way you identify what’s the best way for infrastructure to get in from

The main road where do you want the clubhouse to be where the land planner is putting all the hotels are here and now we go in there and we say we recommend you do this this and this and we’ll give you a better place for this

So you work with the land planner and you work with a civil engineer and you work with your environmentalist to get make sure the mangr are very very sensitive um we had to be very careful with that we had an x amount we could do that’s why our corridors are so narrow that’s

Why not this year but we normally do wall to wall grass here Fairway grass uh but you know these players are the best in the world so I’ve decided to grow the rough in a little bit this year he certainly done that there’s no much Fairway out there now Greg I think we

Actually found that photo that you were talking about earlier in the clubhouse uh we got to take a look is that the one you were talking about this is the one yeah this is John as an amateur came here and played and uh that was the pram

Night dinner and that was the first time I’d met John and and he finished 10th that week I think he’s a lot bigger guy now than what he say yeah yeah he is yeah that’s awesome well uh Dom we want to thank you so much for joining us Greg

Thank you so much and uh here we go guys we’re going to keep this show going Club 54 post show continues stick around I’m headed right there yeah let’s go let’s get into that show And we’re here live from the beautiful mayakoba Resort as you can see the chain smokers are doing what they do best and we just wrapped up round two let’s take a look at Charles how thei and what he did here last year check it out it is the Charles how the third show

So far one man at top of the pylon and it’s pal thei nicely done your man’s been on a clinic Bud y you know to win and to win I’ll say relatively early was big for me wonderful Charles how thei he was simply masterful today Chucky just went lights

Out today sick 1600 on this golf course for 3 Days that’s tell the bestf one the best Char how the no win is uh easy or taken for granted and that’s this one surely Wasn’t and we are back here live Club 54 post with another absolute Legend and special guest Jerry fultz my pre-show host you’re a little loose with the legend with this guy standing between us calling me a legend no you’re great thank you for joining us today Jerry how

Was your day oh I didn’t cuss once on the air I still have a job for tomorrow was fantastic I got to pound it out you have to have small goals in this business Christian now Jerry I asked you earlier today three takeaways from the

Day before I’m going to ask you the same question right now as we close out day two three top three takeaways from today well first of all John ROM he’s tenacious he’s a he’s an alpha dog as we all know and uh he’s he’s here he his

Work is not done this week his work won’t be done until he retires from the game uh he was very impressive today Waco Neeman facing incredibly difficult conditions out there held his own very well that’s an exhausting round of golf when you’re the only guy who tees off

With something to lose and you’re playing under these conditions on this guy’s Golf Course the way it’s designed it’s uh it could be totally exhausting and he’s going to be feeling it tonight and thirdly and it’s it’s not because my boss is standing here um and I’m sucking

Up but I’m a fan of his designs hugely because there’s a lot of subtlety involved but the subtlety of this is the a lot of it’s in the routing of this course because this is the wind that blows every day and there isn’t hardly a single hole that’s directly in or

Directly down he messes with their minds on purpose wow so right yeah absolutely and there’s an not to screwing look he Pete Pete well no what were you going to say say it I was going to say but Pete d one told me when uh I did did a couple

Of collabs with Pete he said Greg golfers love to be punished if you build a boring golf course they’ll never come back they’ll play you one time build a golf course where they love to be punished and love to be tested they’ll come back and play so you know Jerry you

You’ve played golf as lot like I have right so the art of understanding at golf course as a player as you coming into it in your day what was your approach to it how did you go into it well ideally I I mean if my game were

Cooperating which it rarely did not like yours from the green backwards was always the way I approached it and uh and trying to get myself in position to be in the best position up there from back here right what about you yeah no pretty much the same way I played the

Golf course from the green to the te because you knew knew where you wanted to put the Fairway one thing I walked I walked today for the front nine holes and watched the the last group Wako and Sergio and it’s interesting to me how early on the guys miscalculated the win

And it’s not hard to figure out the wi wind right so on the first hole and the second hole and the third hole I’m watching these guys and Patrick Reed I’m going how do they not know the wind is a little bit more out of the South than

Where they are playing it and I thought okay that that to me is go back and do your homework right said study what how you play that couple first couple of holes because if you get off to a slow start it’s hard to get yourself back

Into gear and understand how to play the golf course to get going so tomorrow it’s all about I don’t know the weather forecast the same tomorrow uh uh 10 to 15 west southwest same direction lighter winds yeah well Greg I think we we have a picture of you uh playing here you

Think you miscalculated the win on this one I I bet no look I hit that dead down the middle I know that I can tell here yeah he hit everything down the Mill Christian a quick little sidebar I played the Australian tour for a season in 1988 89

He was at the height of his powers back then and uh he played quite a few events I knew his practice routine and if it coincided with my te times every day after a round of golf competitive golf he’d hit one bucket of balls minimum usually the same amount about 60 balls

With sometimes Stevie Williams out there catching him for him because we had to Shag him at other times there was a regular driving range and I would quietly sneak up 20 or 30 yards and sit there and watch him see if I could learn anything or osmosis it would it would

Work why didn’t you why didn’t you come up and ask me a question wow I’ve asked you I there were plenty of other guys wanting a piece of your time back then you didn’t need some little low life from Vegas asking you questions but uh it was the most impressive driving of

The golf ball and everybody who knows him in his history well he’s the greatest driver of the golf ball in the modern game wow well one of the things just touching on that uh the art of flighting the golf ball there was one tree at Royal Queensland Golf Club where

I used to grow up practicing right just like a little bit here like your palm tree and I used to try and trim trim a branch a broken drant Branch off the tree with the ball I’d aim at a one inch wide Branch I’m going to trim that off

I’m going to trim that off I’m going to hit that I’m going to hit that that’s how I out of the out of flyting golf B with bot go golf balls inima Golf Club you had to hit the ball actually today I was um who I won’t give away the name

Cuz I was talking about golf on the golf course and um they said well what did you do in your day with the bow ball I said the only thing I thought about was make sure I made Square impact Every Time Square impact cuz that club place

Is a little bit off angle this wind is going to exacerbate it even more so the only thing I put in my mind and visualized square at impact square at impact and everything else should take care of itself well great you’ve been absolutely phenomenal I got to say thank

You so much for joining our show today you’ve been great guys take a look at this image here on the screen and Greg once again thank you so much for your time those are the boys There as you can see a beautiful shot from way up top of the beautiful Resort here in myoba and here are the standings here and Jerry’s standing here with me Jerry you want to help me talk through what a day look at this yeah and like I

Said walk nean uh it’s an exhausting round under tough conditions it was tough for everybody but tomorrow I mean he’s a worldclass player no question about it and uh probably if if there was legitimate rankings with the way he’s playing right now and the way he’s

Performed in the top 20 to top 25 in the world tomorrow he’s going up against a guy who’s arguably the best player in the world who’s an intimidating figure I know you guys probably already talked about this in your interviews but an intimidating figure walking onto that te

And a presence and an aura about John ROM and that is a that’s a tough one to tackle I think he’s focused enough to where he’s going to be able to handle it and Dean burmester in the mix as well who has that South African mentality

Where I don’t really care who you are I just the golf ball doesn’t know who’s in it I just want to go beat you that’s great so we actually have an image coming up that I want to hear you talk about but my last question to you is biggest prediction for tomorrow what

Would you say hold on before you answer that take a look at this in just a Moment all right here it is let’s take a look at this a tweet and as you as you know guys we put a lot of tweets up here we put a lot of Instagram posts up here you call yourself a fan post as much as

You can and tag us we’ll be glad to take the content we love to talk about it what do you think about this Jerry yeah Big John riy he’s absolutely right John R is a legend in the game already and he’s just getting started proving things

In this game I can promise you so let’s talk about tomorrow okay Neeman does he hold it does he keep it together does he how does he finish tomorrow I don’t think he’s going to I don’t think he’s going to lose the tournament somebody

Else one of the other two and it have to be one of those other two if he doesn’t lose the tournament if he doesn’t come backwards one of those other two guys in his final group Rah or burmester have to come out and really win it with a super

Deep score with a really low round but uh one prediction I don’t know if it’s a prediction one thing I’m on the lookout for tomorrow is Legion 13 I mean you got two world class players in ramen haton what they do on the golf course is not a

Surprise the second best score on their team right now is Caleb Surat he’s 19 years old fortunately if Legion 13 wins we’re in Mexico he can legally celebrate I believe with the team there you go I mean the guy’s six years away from being able to rent a car I I wouldn’t mind

Getting the invite for that exactly now I do want to talk a little bit more about tomorrow what does the last day the last round typically look like amongst these guys well it’s are we going to see him lay off a little bit or is this the moment where they go hard no

The structure of of live golf is pretty much pedal to the metal to use a worn out cliche from the get-go 54 holes it’s a Sprint it’s not a marathon in golf terms that is uh I don’t see anybody coming I mean really playing conservative golf at any point Unless

Somehow one of them most likely nean has a three four five shot lead coming down the difficult hole 16 17 and 18 then you’ll put them up on it a little bit but other than that not really I absolutely love this tweet here very impressed with the Legion of Doom and

Their Captain Johnny Ram they knocking at that door early and you just agreed with that so let’s talk teams are there any teams a little under the radar that you’re impressed by uh well that one that to me that’s under the radar you got two proven uh unproven professionals two world class players

But two unproven professionals Kieran Vincent is the other one he just turned Pro less than a year ago I believe it was and all four scores count tomorrow so any weakness on a difficult course is going to be exposed that’s why I think Crushers and Stinger lurking there still

Have a really good legitimate chance all right well only time we’ll tell Jerry and there’s the leaderboard as you see it let’s take a look at some offseason moves that have been made check it Out with the movements in the offseason the trade window you know some teams have kind of retooled we had threads going about it amongst ourselves who’s going where and what’s going on I think uh you know Varner for U line of four races that that was a surprising

One to me yeah I thought you know really long and hard for about 3 minutes and I’m like yeah I won’t Herold on my team did I want to leave man I could start to right in David brings a lot to the team he got tremendous Talent he the ball a mile

Great hands around the greens a lot of confidence I think he brings youth uh enthusiasm uh he brings a lot of a lot of power it was a difficult call and a difficult decision you know I love my other team but these are these are my

Boys you know these are the people I was already traveling with and now we’re finally together I think caros going to talk I think they’re going to be a really strong team this year they played well last year and I think they’re going to be better this year right off the

Surface I’ve always wanted wolf I believe in what he can do I said yes immediately cuz it sounded like an unbelievable gig for me and uh with Peter joining the team as well it was it was a no-brainer the next team that’s going to get their nose up there now

With the Trad to smash if I to pick one team yeah I mean it’s pretty simple if You’ got an opportunity to get Taylor guc you go get him yeah this offseason made a little change no longer wearing pink this year and uh hopefully for a long time moving forward we’re going to

Be with smash a whole lot of movement there and look at this trade alert what would you say about this one Jerry well that’s two guys who could play with any team CU they’re both two really really well-liked guys not going to be a whole lot of Personality CL clashes with Peter

Uline and anybody he just gets along with everybody uh Harold Varner maybe a little stronger personality he’s very outgoing very extroverted and I think he fits in really well with Dustin Johnson’s Four Aces because Dustin is he’s not in uh introspective type of guy is per se but he’s certainly not an

Extrovert in terms of the way I think he’s the cheerleader for that team and that is a proven team a Powerhouse team and uh I I really like that trade a lot for both teams I think they both came out with somebody who can really help

Their team and I think Peter Uline uh being friends with Matthew wolf and and Oklahoma State alums together I think that’s really going to help bring out the best in a young man who has the world uh the world has his oyster potential wise in Matthew wolf well I

Love to see the trade that always keeps everything interesting so I think this is a Dean out here we got to talk to him a little bit earlier today and look at this what a cute little moment that’s adorable look at this it’s like Dad this

Is fun cool seeing you but when’s mom going to take me back to the beach it’s always good to get some uh wholesome content in there so why not we got to throw that in someday that young man will be asked when did you fall in love

With the game and we’ll bring back this video all right Jerry let me ask you a few more questions before we get out of here I want to see your action on the Range you want to see that see not little kids I’ll tell you that not as

Good uh a couple more questions before we get out of here first thanks for joining my pleasure okay you are the master of the story lines I mean you can break everything down you can look at that tree right now probably and tell me something about it no you don’t have to

David’s the tree guy he could name the the make or whatever you call it the origin of to me they’re just obstacles so as the days go by the story shifts a little bit right yeah coming out coming out of today would you say there’s any shift of

Story that you’re interested in here I know that’s a tough one it might be too soon too early to ask not at all not at all I I mean the shift in the story was I didn’t expect Legion 13 to be there that but that we’ve already touched on

That um some of the players who struggle today I didn’t expect to struggle oh I’ve already mentioned him Peter Uline he’s behind us hitting balls right here and he’s Happ well he just left thank goodness cuz he’s hitting on the left side of the range and his Miss is a low

Pull which could just really knock one of us out but he struggled this week and he was in contention last year until some kind of spirit or ghost got him on the 12 T where he hit a small bucket off the te lost a tournament there came back

Really strong I expected him to play really really well but um the cool thing the really really cool thing about Liv golf in the format is if if these guys are playing regular Tour golf and they play poorly they tea off early tomorrow they’re making 10 birdies they don’t

Really care they basically you can find yourself mailing it in because there’s always next week always next week that ain’t the case you’re playing for your team tomorrow all four scores count everything you do matters to guys who you care about and that is a whole

Different focus in the game of golf and what really brings the team element of live golf right to the Forefront and makes this a true sporting League absolute Game Changer you give me chills when you talk about it all right let’s let’s take a look we actually are going to toss his uh

Tagboard again we love the social here as we close out I think that’s Arlo White’s room this was in our group chat do you remember this Jerry oh yeah yeah that was that’s a raccoon that’s not a kaati we’re told and uh is it a raccoon that that is one Brave raccoon I

Wouldn’t walk into that room for anything so the funny part about this video uh is you can’t you can’t hear the audio but Arlo is so relaxed he’s like hey little buddy like I would be freaking out if this thing was in my room not Arlo white I think the S block

Had already he he probably thought it was a princess but we’re told those things can actually take those little bags of snacks that they put on the top right above where that where was looking and actually open them up and eat them no way oh yeah yeah are you kidding me yeah

Wow uh I I’ll keep that I’ll keep that in mind all right we’re going to take a look at this leaderboard again you know I I I really only have a couple things to ask you left before we get out of here but let’s just talk tomorrow you

Know as as you’re looking at this leaderboard what comes to mind as you’re thinking about how things will transpire well what comes to mind is just a smile actually internally and externally you got walk Neiman awesome player just won the Australian Open he’s won a lot of stuff former Latin America

Amateur Champion which got him into the first Masters and unfortunately due to the political system and environment regarding the stronghold that the owgr keeps uh to kind of hurt our players he’s not even invited this year and it’s not a true world class not the best field they can possibly put on their

Golf Course without an invitation to him then you got Master’s Champion major Champion then you got burmester then you got Masters champion then you got Brooks Kea PGA Champion reigning Patrick Reed former master champion it line up down and down and down so many major Champions on that most of them yeah and

Those were our individuals and here are the team leaders um does this also make you happy just to see 13 uh teams here competing in Le well my team that I have an affinity for smash GC played really well for two days I’m happy to see that Crushers I

Picked to win this week they’re right there Stinger right there they’ve been very solid it’s a true four-man deep team and uh but I think I think a lot of curiosity is going to be out there tomorrow following Legion 13 well we just wrapped up day two round two Jerry

Fults thank you so much for joining us here squ on Club I love that nickname Club 54 we’ll see you guys at the next show tomorrow we our pregame and our post and we hope to see you there live from Mya Coba Resort thank you guys and
